Specification of Letters Patent. 7 lPatntdSePttZQ 1915, Serial No.68,324. Divided and this ap plication ifile'd November 17,1916. SerialNo. 131,942. j y e with an outwardly projecting circumferential flange17 having a depending lip 19 forming an annular recess beneath saidflange. A packing washerfQl of rubber or recess andmay be securedtherein'by slightly upsetting or bending 'in'the rim of the lip 19 ifdesired.

' A cap 23v has a rim .25 seated on the body fiange l7 aiid a dependinglip 27 intimately embracing the flange lip l9. The lips may be tensionedsomewhat when one is pressed into the other to assist holding themtogether. The cap may have a central portion 27 pressed outward from itsrim to contribute to the stiffness ofithe cap and add to the ornamentalappearancether'eof. V e V A- handle 29 conveniently diedlout of sheetcopper or other suitable materialhas a' shank 81 entered through anelongated slot in the cap and presenting its lower. end in a lgroove ordepression 33 in the bottom of the ody. The slot and groo e positivelyconmet the cap and body with the handle and prevent relative rotationthereof such as might loosen the cap lipifrom the body lip.

The handle may have shoulder 35 at the.

base of its shank'fo'r engagement-with the top of the cap to prevent thelatter from slipping upward away from the body. 1 The lower end of theshank may be'solclered or otherwise permanently secured in the groove33. The handlemay have-an eye 37 therein 7 whereby thebottle 7 may be'readilyhung from a'hook' if desired. i" 7 7 n The inner wall ofthe neckhas a'threaded portion 39'int'ermediate its ends adapted to receive thethreaded body. of the stopper.

At the upper end of this threaded portion,

a circumferential shoulder 41 of sufiicient width to receive the packingwasher 21. The shoulder'preferably has a circumferential rib 43'forminga seat adapted for-tight fit with the washer.

The vented cooling chamber between the outer and inner wallsof the neckis an important feature of the bottle. To further contribute to thecooling ofthe neck, the cap of the stopper may have vents45thereinpermittingthe free circulation of airinto the body of-the stopper. fHeretofore the ,pac 'ngs min #9 be freq nt y sweetening to thedestructive action of the hot water thereon. By my construction thisobjection has been obviated,-si-nce the washer is located adjacent thetop of the stopper externally thereof, remote from the body of the hot"Water in the bottle, and the vents in the same, it would verysubstantially increase the temperature of the neck, but the ventilationthereof as described materially contributes to the maintaining of theneck at a temperature sufliciently low to permit the same to becomfortably grasped by the hand.

The body, cap and handle may all be readily died from sheet material andthe body and cap mayzbe pressed into their proper form and assembled infew and simple operations with a small expenditure of materials A r rl/Vhile the stopper has been described here in more particularly withreference to its use in hot water bottles, it will be understood itsfield of use is not restricted thereto.

Having described one illustrative embodiment of the invention withoutlimiting the same thereto, what I claim as new and desir'eto secure byLetters Patent is v l. A stopper comprising in combination a tubularscrew threaded seamless body closed at the bottom and having acircumferential flange at the top thereof, a capv for said top having arim fitting said flange, a packing washer received by said flange,andahandle projecting upwardly. from said cap, said stopper being:adapted for engagement with the feinalethreaded neck of a containerproviding an exterior seat for said packing washer.

2'. A stoppercomprising in combinationa tubular body portion having anoutwardly extending flangeat'the upper end thereof and a downwardlyextending flange at the outer edge of said outwardly extended flange, acap for the top of said body portion embracing said-"outwardly extendingflange and having a downwardly extending flange surrounding thedownwardly extending flange on the body portion, said'downwardlyextending flanges providing an anwardly extending flange,- said flangesproviding an annular recess for a packing washer.

4:. A stopper con'iprising a body having a circumferential flange, adepending lip formingan-ex-ternal recess, and a closed bottom, a packingwasher seated in said recess and having its lower face exposed, a capfor said body, and a handle member of irregular,

cross-section: projecting through said. cap and secured to the closedbottom of said body.

5..A stopper comprising'a body havinga circumferential flange,adepending lip forming an'external recess, and a closed bottom, apackingwasher seated in said recess, a cap for said body, and a handlemember projecting through said cap and secured to the closed bottom ofsaid body, said handle member being died from a flat plate and enteringa depression in the bottom of said body.

6. A stopper comprising, a body 11 having a closed bottom and providedwithaan outwardly projecting circumferential flange 17 providing anannular recess a packing 21 seated in said recess, a cap 2- for saidbody having cooling means,- 45 therefor, a handle member 29 passingthrough said cap.
